panns-inference
Advanced tools
panns_inference provides an easy to use Python interface for audio tagging and sound event detection. The audio tagging and sound event detection models are trained from PANNs: Large-Scale Pretrained Audio Neural Networks for Audio Pattern Recognition: https://github.com/qiuqiangkong/audioset_tagging_cnn
PyTorch>=1.0 is required.
$ pip install panns-inference
$ python3 example.py
For example:
import librosa
import panns_inference
from panns_inference import AudioTagging, SoundEventDetection, labels
audio_path = 'examples/R9_ZSCveAHg_7s.wav'
(audio, _) = librosa.core.load(audio_path, sr=32000, mono=True)
audio = audio[None, :] # (batch_size, segment_samples)
print('------ Audio tagging ------')
at = AudioTagging(checkpoint_path=None, device='cuda')
(clipwise_output, embedding) = at.inference(audio)
print('------ Sound event detection ------')
sed = SoundEventDetection(checkpoint_path=None, device='cuda')
framewise_output = sed.inference(audio)
